What's the rear sitting at now? Mine with RC sits 36.5 front and 36 rear. I want to get an inch more in rear but don't know if I should do oem or f150 style.

The OEM replacement gained a 1/2 and the F150 one get 1" and up. With the spacer lift I think that's right.

With my RC spacer lift, the OEM load levelers gained .5" over stock and the F150 version gave me 1.25" over stock. If i were you, i'd get the F150 version.

Thanks that's exactly what I needed. Really wanted advice from someone that has them installed

I jacked the wheel up.

Did you get the stock length or longer? If longer I have a little tip. I used a ratchet strap to compress the shock about 2" before installing. Makes the install much easier since then you don't have to fight the spring.

Matt, it looks like you used 3 washers on each shock is that right? What size did you use?

[Matt]

Yeah, 3 washers. Not sure of the size.... I have a drawer full of washers/nuts/bolts/etc so I just found one the fit nicely on the shock bolt and went with it.

I just went to Home Depot and guessed. I bought 3 different sizes and was going to return what I didn't use but ended up throwing them in the tool box. I'm sure I'll need them eventually.
